At the annual meeting of the Massachusetts
Total Abstinence Society held recently in Bos-
ton, Gov. Ames mat!e some remarks, and is re-
ported by the Boston Herald as follows:
Some criticism had been made because he had
made no mention of constitutional prohibition.
He did not mention it because he felt that it
was not proper for him to do so, as the matter
rests entirely with the Legislature. The Gov
ernor has nothing to do with it. except to pro-
mulgate the passage of an amendment to the
constitution when it is passed. Continuing he
said: The platform of the Republican party is
in favor of submitting constitutional prohibit
ton to the people, and so am I. [AppIause.] |
cannot conceive of law that has for its object
the advancement of the cause of temperance
that would not sign. Applause. l did not
recommend high license in my message, but
did recommend that in those cities and towns
which voted for license, the number of licenses
should be greatly reduced. As the law of the
state is for local option, wish to restrict the
liquor traffic within the closest possible limits
where permitted. fear the course of the third
party, in defeating so many Prohibitionsts for
the Legislature, has prevented any chance for
passing constitutional amendment this winter.
They are responsible for it, and no one else.

Freeman, Oak. Jan. 1, 1887.

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts recent
ly rendered a decision against New Bedford
liquor dealer, involving heavy damages. The
following is summary of the case:
John O'COnnell sued Patrick O'Leary to re-
cover damages under the Civil Damage act for
injuries sustained by reason of the sale of in.
toxcatng liquors by the defendant to the
plaintiffs wife. The declaration specifies be-
tween 900 and 400 sales. and as the law renders
it possible to recover $1OO for each sale, if the
allegations should be proven, the plaintiff
might recover verdict for between $4,000
and $4,000. The sales are alleged to have
been made to little son and daughter of the
O'Connell's between May and November In
1884. DIR. s. W. Hayes testified to attendance
upon Mrs. O'Connell ut one time when she was
on the verge Of delirium tremens. Her husband
knew nothing of the cause Of her sickness and
the doctor did not cnlighten him. Mrs. O'Con-
nell testified that every day she drank from
pint and half to quart of whiskey, even
during the serious illness referred to by DR..
Hayes. The jury brought in a verdict Of $4,000
for OCOnnell.
